Can you point us to an example of what you are trying to acheive?

Well, I don't know of a tutorial, but it's fairly straighforward:

I just made this example:

Pick your six photos and open them in the PSE Editor

Use the Crop tool to crop them to the right Aspect Ratio. Your example uses 10x8 (Set the Crop Tool Aspect Ratio to 8x10 and then click the little double arrows to get it to be Width 10in Height 8in)

Then, resize them all to 130 pixels Wide x 104 pixels High

Use Image>Resize>ImageSize... make sure Resample Images is checked, and then set the pixels (130Wx104H) in the Pixel Dimensions box.

Now, open the attached Banner.psd file [Note: This site won't let me upload a .psd, so I changed the extension to .txt.  After downloading it, change it back to .psd]

Drag each of your images into this file to create a new Layer for each image. (Use the Move Tool to drag and drop)

You can do this by simply having the two image windows side by side, and litterly dragging from the image window onto the banner.psd window.

Drag all six, and arrange them in the order you want. Positioning does not have to be exact, except for the one all the way on the left and the one all the way on the right.

You should now have the layer from the origional Banner.psd file, and six new layers.

Select all six of the new layers by holding the CRTL key down and clicking on each layer in the Layers pallette.

Then, select Align>Vertical Centers in the Tool Options Bar near the top of the window

The select Distribute>Horizontal Centers from up there as well.

Now, add an outside Stroke (black border) to each image

In the Effects pallete, select the Layer Styles filter, and then select Strokes from the pulldown.

Drag and drop the Black Stroke 0.5 Px onto each of your images.

Now, arrainge the layers so that you have one of the included Photo Filter layers on top of each of your photos by simply dragging the layers up and down to get them in the right order.

And, for the faded Color Left B&W Right effect, drag the Hue/Saturation layer up to the top.

You should end up with something like:

Hue/Saturation 1

Photo Filter 6

Layer 6

Photo Filter 5

Layer 5

Photo Filter 4

Layer 4

Photo Filter 3

Layer 3

Photo Filter 2

Layer 2

Photo Filter 1

Layer 1

Where Layer 1 is that layer with your Photo 1, Layer 2 = your photo 2, and so on.

You can play around with the effect of each Photo Filter layer by double clicking on the little circle that's half black and half white.

Once you have it all as you'd like, save it for your web banner using File>Save for Web.

There you go.

Not too tough.

Sure. I'll go edit my origional post with some screen shots.

If there are any particular steps you like to see first, let me know.
